The present invention is directed to improvements in toilet cabinets.

The primary object of the invention is to providea device of thischaracter so constructed that it can beconveniently secured to awall forsupporting 'varioustoilet arti cles. I

Another object of the invention is to provide a cabinet of this naturewhich is simple in construction and so arranged that toilet articles,such as brushes and combs, soap, tumblers, toot-h brushes, towels andother toilet articles can be supported for convenient access.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich is formed wholly from sheet metal.

With these and other objectsin view, this invention resides in the novelfeatures of construction, formation, combination and arrangement ofparts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed, and illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view ofthe device. 1

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 22 of gagedthe pintles 21 carriedby the ends of a Figure 1. V

Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3'3 of Figure 1. s

Figure 4 is a sectional view on line 4.41of Figure 1. e r M i Figure 5is a sectional view on line 5-5Vof Figure 2.

Figure 6 is a sectional view on line 66 of Figure 2. v r The cabinetconsists of spaced sides 1, the rear edges thereof terminating inflanges 2 through which securingdevices are passed for supporting thecabinet upon a wall. The lower ends of the sides terminatein forwardlydirected extensions 3, the lower edges of which are provided withinturned horizontal flanges 3'.

A shelf 4 is employed and has fixed longitudinally thereunder a bar 5,the ends of which terminate in trunnions 6 for rotatably engaging thebearings 7 formed in the sides 1, the shelf, when in its operativepositionresting upon the flanges 3. 1

An elongated tray 8 is arranged between the "sides 1 and hasv its endwalls 9 secured by rivets to the sides. The front wall 10 of the trayhas secured thereto aresilient clamp 11 adaptedto engage the forwardedge ofthe shelffil when the same is swung upwardly, as shown in dottedlines in Figure 3 of thedrawings.

1 Arranged above the tray 8 is a strip 12, the endrfianges 13 of whichare securedto the sides 1; Fixed to the central portion of the strip isa resilient sheet metal arm 14 having apluralityof seats 15 formed.therein, the

purpose .of which will be later explained- Fixed to the upper ends ofthe sides 1 are the horizontally disposed plates 16, the inner ends ofwhich terminate in vertical plates 17 which have their lower ends fixedto the shelf 12 .in spaced relation. 1 By providing the plates 16 andl7compartments 18 are formed in whi'chutooth brush holders, drinkingglasses, shaving mugs, and the like can be conveniently placed therein,there being resilient;

clamps 19..carried by the plates 16 for sup-1 porting tooth brushesSupportedby the opposed faces of the plates 171-117' are bearings 20 inwhich are enthe mirror22.'"- It will, of course, be understood that,desired, the mirror may be supported-in a,franie, and. the trunnionsfixed to the-frame. :Obviously, the mirror can be heldlin: variousinclined positions upon engaging the lower edge thereof in selectedseats 15of the arm 14. r

.Hooks'23 are secured to the sides 1 adjacent the upper ends thereof andupon which may besuspehdedtowels or wash cloths.

The tray is primarily designed for holdingsoap, brushes and combs, whilethe shelf 1 may be usedfor supporting various toilet articles when beingused, and since the shelf can be swung upwardly when not in use, aperson can stand close to the mirror.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation andmany advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent tothose skilled in the art, without further description, and it will beunderstood that various changes'in'the size, shape, and proportion andminor details of construction may be resorted to without de-- partingfrom the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of t e invention.
